The house was perfect for our group, it was clean and modern. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. Great location and beautiful view of the water. Everything we would need was provided by the owner. I wish it was a bit warmer outside to use those amenities but we still had a fabulous time. I would definitely book again.

Great home

Had a great time staying here with my family. Location is just a few minutes walk from the shops in Douglass. Even more shops are close by in Saugatuck. Home was clean, in good working order. Kitchen was better stocked than most we have seen. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

Great location for our family.

We had a family wedding at The Ravines and The Ivy House. This property was in the perfect location to those venues; plus walked to downtown Douglas and a 4 minute drive to downtown Saugatuck. The property had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to choose from for us. We had three couples and a single. The home was well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, cooking items (though we ate out) etc..

Wonderful place

There were 15 adults in our group - plenty of room for all of us for meals and conversation! Very clean. Sleeping accommodations were great - just be aware that the futon in the basement is barely a double size bed. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and just about anything you could want in a kitchen and plenty of tableware - all cupboards were labeled! Worked out very well for our group.

Great stay!

Well organized and well appointed home in a fantastic location! Easy walk to both Douglas and Saugtuck and everything you need for your stay. We stay in lots of VRBO’s and this one is great. We traveled after Christmas with family ranging from 10 to adult and everyone was comfortable. We would love to come back in the summer when we can take advantage of the rooftop area. Loved this house!

Perfect Meeting Venue

This was a perfect setting for a 2-day executive retreat with rooms for each member and great space and lighting for long meetings. The nearby restaurants provided a much needed break from the long focused days of planning and vision casting. The property is beautifully maintained with a spectacular view of the lake.

The house was great for our group of friends and family. There was plenty of room for everyone and the house was very clean. We enjoyed the rooftop seating and fire pit in the backyard. The kitchen was very well stocked which made it easy to make large meals. We were able to walk to shops in downtown Douglas (including the Root Beer Barrel and Upscale Mercantile).

Beautiful postcard like location

Was a friends get-together with 5 couples. The place was clean, modern and we enjoyed the time in Douglas and Saugatuck thoroughly. Downtown Douglas is steps away from the house. We were able to view the lake across the house from the living room and the terrace. Will come again if Alex has availability of the home, as the drive from Detroit is easy. Alex was a great host and all the information left was easy to follow.

Just as described

Property was just as described. It was very well stocked with everything you may need. Loved the walking distance to downtown Douglas as well as a public fishing spot for my son. Only two negatives were the outside of the house/sitting area upstairs/windows were pretty dirty. Needs a good power wash. Also has an issue with the main TV upstairs and it was not fixed during our stay even though we asked for it to be.

Great Weekend Getaway in Douglas

We stayed at the Douglas Modern Villa for a long weekend with 8 guys. We were in the area for an annual golf trip. This was the perfect property for our group. The pictures do not do it justice. The house is very large and well maintained. There was enough room for most everyone to have their own space. A few of us shared the bedroom with 3 twin beds, but it was comfortable. The yard is also massive with a great patio and fire pit. The neighborhood area seemed secluded and is very quiet. The house is just a short walk to the water and downtown Douglas. The walk to Sagatuck is reasonable (less than 1 mile). If you have a large group, consider this house! You won't be disappointed.

Abundance

One word to describe the house is ABUNDANCE. Lots of space for our group . Lots of items in every room. You name it and you will have it . And on top of all these, lot of info available in every place of the house . You don’t have to open each cupboard to see what’s in there. You don’t have to try which switch is for which light . And Alex will be checking on us to make sure we are doing good . That’s the gesture of a responsible property owner . Thanks Alex for maintaining the house in a clean and organized manner .
